Halloween Games, Costumes & Potluck!

Saint Albert the Great Catholic Church (map)

Selected By: Nadine Sehnert

10/29 Update:
We got some fun games on our trip to Essen, Germany that we will be playing. If you like to be silly do we have the games for you! We also have some not so silly ones so hopefully you will find a new favorite!

Check out some of the games we will be playing:
Bunny Bunny Moose Moose - This game from the Czech Republic will have everyone laughing and having a good time. You have to be on your toes as you are constantly changing between various bunny ear, moose antler combinations!

A La Carte - This game has been out a while but we have the latest release. Test out your culinary skills with this silly game!

Filipino Fruit Market - The newest trick taking card game with two ways to play!

Power Grid - Factory Manager - Run your own factory by making decisions about what equipment you have in your factory. But be aware of your energy costs!

And many more too!

So we'll see you on Saturday - costumes encouraged but not required. Come early or come late, after you've handed out the candy. Remember, you will get an extra hour of sleep as clocks "fall back"!

10/16 Update: Buffalo Games sent us copies of their new game Truth Be Told! We will have LOTS of games to give out as prizes and will probably throw in some homemaid pear-raspberry jam in the mix too!

Don't foget to sign up! Remember, you can come after you go out trick or treating or come early and go trick or treating late - just stop by and play some games & have fun!

10/2 Update: We have been given the new game from Out of the Box - Word on the Street - to play and give away at our Halloween meetup! We have also been contacted by Buffalo games and they are sending us copies of their new game too! We will be giving a way new copies of theses games!

Mike and I will also have games we bring back from our trip to Essen, Germany (http://www.merz-verla...)

Original posting:
Mark your calendars! Games, Food & Halloween - what can be better?

I'll post more details soon but expect prizes (games) for the best costumes (extra points for game themed costumes), apples to apples bobbing, and every spook, scare, wierd game we have that even remotely fits into the Halloween theme (Ouiji anyone??)

This is an all ages event - families encouraged to attend.

Suggested donation - $5 per family. As always, this is a suggestion.

If you want to help organize or plan please contact Nadine!

    Wow! So many showed up. As always good food. We probably should have had more party games available. Thanks for playing the new games and giving your feedback on Word on the Street and Truth Be Told. I will give that to the game companies. Thanks all for a fun night!
